Chapter 353: She Bares Her Claws (3)

The abyss in his eyes was visible even from the side. The only thing was, his gaze held a tinge of reminiscence.
A tinge of reminiscence?
Stunned, Mi Nuo halted her footsteps too. Turning around and following his gaze, she spotted Zhuang Nainai arguing with a few people.
Zhuang Nainai?!
Mi Nuo’s pupils shrank. Why was Zhuang Nainai here? With all that had happened, she still had the nerve to turn up for work?!


Mi Nuo immediately clenched her fists tightly.
She then saw how Zhuang Nainai, having angered and chased the few people away, was still stomping her feet and waving her fists at them. Haughtily, Zhuang Nainai said,
Damn, you guys are lucky that y’all run fast. If not, beware of my fists!

Mi Nuo furrowed her brows at such coarse language, her eyes full of disdain.
People who grew up in poorer areas would never be able to get rid of their upbringing!
But at least, this would make Mr. Si give up, right?
Mi Nuo turned her head, expecting to see the same sense of disdain on his face. Unthinkably, instead, she saw his lips curling upwards into a smile.
The usually cold and expressionless face of Mr. Si was now bright and dazzling.
Mi Nuo was utterly stunned. It had been three years since she entered the Imperial Group, and even though the chances to see him were few and far in between, she had always secretly looked at him.
But he had never smiled.
And now, he was smiling.


His eyes were full of joy and happiness.
Mi Nuo clenched her fists once more. Having liked him all these years, she was always imagining ways to get him to smile.
Here he was, now, finally smiling… but not because of her.
Si Zhengting looked at the person in front of him. The Zhuang Nainai of now seemed to have become the Zhuang Nainai in her high school days.
He had originally thought that she had changed. But from the looks of it, the only thing that changed was the feelings they shared between them. She was still her old self.
This was exactly how Zhuang Nainai was like in her high school days. Sharp and having a way with words, she would always retaliate if wronged.
He felt that Zhuang Nainai was more alive when she was like this.
Mi Nuo, on the other hand, was jealous to the point of insanity at the scene before her.
Taking a deep breath, she took a step forward and flashed a standard, professional smile.
Mr. Si? Are you here on the 18th floor for something?

This one sentence finally drew him back to reality.


As she watched his facial expression return to the one of old, Mi Nuo felt an odd sense of annoyance, but her smile remained on her face.
Mr. Si?

Si Zhengting grunted. Without looking directly at Mi Nuo, he spoke coldly.
Is the design department having too much time on its hands?

Mi Nuo was stunned.
Si Zhengting’s gaze was fixed ahead of him.
Gathering to chat during work hours… I think the design department’s discipline is too relaxed.

Hearing this, Mi Nuo immediately bit her lips!
Mr. Si was trying to stand up for her?!
Mi Nuo began to feel irritated. Hurriedly lowering her head to conceal her flustered emotions, she replied,
Mr. Si, I understand.

Si Zhengting finally turned to look at her.
There are eight people in total.

He was not going to let the people who badmouthed her go — every single one of the eight of them!
It was only after saying this that he began to stride forward.


Ji Chen followed closely behind.
Si Zhengting’s face was ugly. Lowering his voice to suppress his anger, he said,
Ji Chen!

Ji Chen’s heart leaped violently as he turned his head to face Si Zhengting’s darkened expression.
Why has the issue of the design drafts spread so much that so many people are aware of it?
